I have not called anyone names, and have only pointed out the lies and hate spewed by Grayson as his normal operating procedure. Was this a glitch, or does someone on this site fear spirited debate?

They look pretty hateful to me.

“So far, Alan Grayson estimates, his efforts to pursue qui tam cases
against contractors in Iraq have cost him about $10 million. The severe
terms of the False Claims Act mean that he cannot even reveal how many
fraud whistle-blowers he represents, but there are dozens…….”(Sorry for the double posting on this…just wanted to make sure I put this in the correct place following Navin’s comment.)

Sat, 22 Jun 2013 01:07:00 +0000http://boingboing.net/?p=237366#comment-1753539 Actually, Antinous, those were the legal costs he bragged about being paid in his sit down with the Orlando Sentinel Editorial Board. They were a cost (that is another word for expense) to him until he recovered legal fees from the case he won. You do not have to believe a word I say about Grayson…just listen to what the man says and does with a discerning mind and any thinking person will come to the conclusion that he is just another slick salesman telling you what you want to hear…Everyone is also invited to checkout my website, http://www.williamrussell,net, in addition to my FB Page.

Fri, 21 Jun 2013 20:53:00 +0000http://boingboing.net/?p=237366#comment-1753331 Here is the Vanity Fair Article which glowingly details Grayson’s pose as and anti-contractor crusader and his out lay of “$10M” in “legal expenses” in pursuing his case against a contractor. In the full version of his Orlando Sentinel Editorial Board sit-down/ debate with Todd Long, Grayson brags about being paid his “legal expenses” from the law suit. Unfortunately, the full version of the Editorial Board has been removed, but five minutes of the snippy exchange between Grayson and Long are still up on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcoOXMFZ4Go). But notice how at the end of this exchange, Grayson brings up a false charge of domestic violence against Long to deflect (and gets shut down by the editorial board) from his own calling a woman a “K Street whore.” His actions in Congress and in the press repeatedly follows this pattern. He is an untrustworthy hater.

Fri, 21 Jun 2013 20:10:00 +0000http://boingboing.net/?p=237366#comment-1753291 Alan Grayson is as unprincipled as the worst of ambulance chasing
lawyers. He loves to pose as the watch dog on government contractors.
But in reality he simply uses that pose to rake in millions of dollars
in legal fees by suing them. He is just as much a war profiteer as the
contractors. But unlike the contractors who at least provide services
for the prices they charge, Grayson is a complete parasite and returns no value for the huge profits he makes.

Surely there’s one online, somewhere about this . . . probably a dozen. I’m sure they’ll all be listened to carefully by the ranchers who herd us, their cattle and sheep.
